Bring Her Back (2025) 95% 7.5/10 “It’s a biting, bleeding, weeping follow-up to Talk to Me that will stare you down with blind eyes and ask you to lose yourself in a cannonball, plunging deep into a pool overflowing with trauma and sad-boy-horror in its final form.” – InBetweenDrafts May 16, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 81% 8/10 “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, if you choose to accept it, burns away your cynicism with every shot of Cruise grinning into death’s abyss and saying, “It’s just pain.”” – Cinemaholics May 14, 2025 Full Review The Sound of Music (1965) 83% “The movie hurts. It stings. Too many simply remember it as some happy-go-lucky singalong, but absolutely not. The Sound of Music breaks your heart.” – InBetweenDrafts Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 8/10 “His use of first-person POV places us inside Elwood’s mind at key moments, not as a gimmick, but as a demand: feel this.” – Cinemaholics Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 47% “We get a movie that, much like the MCU itself these days, is merely running on autopilot. Captain America may still stand for something, but Brave New World sure doesn’t.” – Cinemaholics Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 95% 8/10 “This is not a film wallowing in misery, nor does it posture toward profundity. Rather, Sorry, Baby is that rare work of quiet alchemy, its emotional weight carried by Victor’s distinctive comedic voice.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 95% 8.5/10 “Sweeney’s script knows exactly when to subvert expectations, dodging clichés in favor of characters so deeply flawed and bizarrely endearing that you want to wrap them in a weighted blanket and tell them everything’s going to be okay.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 97% 9/10 “Train Dreams isn’t about grand historical figures or defining moments. It’s about the people who toiled in the background, the ones who built the roads and bridges but never got their names etched into them.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Life After (2025) 100% 8.5/10 “It refuses to be a passive history lesson. Instead, it unspools like a thriller, each new revelation exposing deeper, more insidious layers of ableism embedded in our institutions.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Rebuilding (2025) 96% 8/10 “But for all its meditative despair, Rebuilding doesn’t lose sight of the decency fueling its redemption story.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 29, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% 7/10 “The Wedding Banquet promises deception at the reception, but the real surprise is how Andrew Ahn’s remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 rom-com gem leans into melodrama more than comedy.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Coexistence, My Ass! (2025) 92% 5.5/10 “Shuster-Eliassi is a magnetic force, and her comedy has the potential to ignite conversations that most people would rather avoid. But I often found myself wishing we could just watch the one-woman show, rather than a shortened version of it.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Didn't Die (2025) 63% 6/10 “Didn’t Die is less of a meal and more of a snack: quirky, ambitious, and occasionally tasty, but not as filling as you might hope. Perfect for anyone who’s ever imagined themselves finally starting that podcast, come hell or high or water. ” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Sugar Babies (2025) 40% 7/10 “It’s not just a documentary about a young woman trying to make ends meet—it’s a searing look at a system that prioritizes profit over people, leaving entire generations swiping for survival.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 28, 2025 Full Review The Thing with Feathers (2025) 53% 5/10 “Instead of pulling you deeper into the narrative, these technical missteps feel like the cinematic equivalent of a bird squawking in your ear.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 100% 7.5/10 “What starts as a quirky take on long-term love quickly descends into full-blown body horror, proving that “till death do us part” might not be the scariest part of a relationship.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 28, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 98% 9/10 “Directed with endless warmth, wit, and whimsy by James Griffiths, this is a cinematic sea shanty about misfits, music, and the scruffy relationships that define us. It’s also the funniest movie I’ve seen in ages, and that’s not bassless hyperbole.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Bunnylovr (2025) 55% 7/10 “Bunnylovr is not for everyone, and that’s probably an advertisement more than a criticism.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% “It’s an unsettling dissection of humanity’s capacity for both cruelty and empathy, where the lines between justice and exploitation blur until they’re nearly indistinguishable.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 27, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 93% 8.5/10 “Kicks you straight in the gut—and maybe the funny bone—while dragging you into the most chaotic family drama this side of a Greek tragedy. ” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Seeds (2025) 95% 6.5/10 “Shyne sows her film with poetic imagery and warmth, but the harvest feels thin, as if the deeper story remains buried beneath the surface.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% 7/10 “The film serves as a testament to the resilience of those who dare to speak truth to power, even when all you have is a camera and a conscience.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 79% 8/10 “Director Carmen Emmi wraps the film in an atmosphere so thick with anxiety it’s almost unbearable. That anxiety is amplified by grainy visuals, evoking both the era’s aesthetic and the unpolished reality of Lucas’s double life.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 26, 2025 Full Review It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025) 100% 7/10 “While the documentary’s structure may have you tuning out at times, its emotional depth and the richness of its archival content offer a compelling portrait of an artist who left an indelible mark on the music world.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 26, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 100% 8/10 “The film’s restraint is its greatest strength. It doesn’t need to spell out its commentary because the footage itself says it all.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 25, 2025 Full Review
